ENDS CONTESTS IN FOUR STATES i Committee Beats Record in Deciding Claims of Rival Delegates. ; STOPS M'CARREN'S MOUTH J Deposed Brooklyn Boss Becomes Abusive Bitter Contest in Penn J' sylvanla Dubois Wins First Bound in Idaho Fight. 1 DENVER. July 6. In record time to-- cay the Democratic National committee ; disposed of all contests before It with l the exception of those of two states ' Pennsylvania and Idaho which went ', fever until tomorrow morning. The gen-. eral result was to sustain the delegates ' who came here with credentials from ' their state and district conventions. A 'total of 76 seats was involved in the . conterts from Illinois, New York. Penn- - sylvania. Idaho, Ohio and the District ' of Columbia. The work was done by six sub-committees, four of which reported today to the full body. " Results Summed Vp. - Roger Sullivan, of Chicago, was an ''easy winner of the 3) contested seats from Cook County, which were disputed by Robert E. Burke and his associates. ' Senator Fred T. Dubois was sustained by the sub-committee which heard the -Mormon contests from Idaho, but the committee was not ready to make Its re- . port to the full committee before that body adjourned. Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, was a winner in the Nine teenth Ohio district, where he triumphed over the sub-committee before the. Na tional committee. The Rockwell dele gates weit displaced and the two John son delegates seated in their places. In the ninth Ohio district the Garber fac tion retained the a wo contestants over the protest of Johnson. McCarren's Abuse Choked Off. Patrick McCarren. of Brooklyn, was practically ignored In his contest against -Charles F. Murphy for the 12 seats in Kings County. New York. Before the sub-committee he became so abusive of ths Murphy-Coler men that he was not - permitted to proceed and the meeting was abruptly adjourned, with the de ' Vision to take no further action with re gard to the contests. The full commit tee sustained this course without debate. In the District of Columbia contest, where the entire delegation of six mem bers was involved, the committee divided the seats between the two contesting par ties. Joseph Howley, of the Chirty-flrst Penn sylvania district, whose right to his seat was disputed by the Guffey people, was sustained by the subcommittee. The Pennsylvania contests, which involved e'cht seats in the City of Philadelphia and three In Allegheny County, provoked ' probably the most bitter discussion that, was heard before any subcommittee. Bitter Fight on Keystone State. Charles Berwood Daly, of Philadelphia, "appeared before the committee and ar raigned Charles P. Donnelly and Thomas J. Ryan, the leaders of the Guffey fac tion In the districts. In the bitterest man ner. He charged that the eight Guffey delegates were elected by the aid of Re publicans and that the rankest frauds were perpetrated. Both Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Ryan, who spoke in support of the reg ular delegations, replied in kind to the charges. After listening to criminations and 're criminations for an hour and a half, the subcommittee took the contests under ad visement and will report tomorrow morn ing. Deaders of several of the contesting delegations. Incensed by their defeat, charged that the subcommittees were packed against them. Little hope was ex pressed by the opponents of Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Guffey and Mr. Murphy that they would win before the National committee. Oklahomn Case Passed Up. The matter of whether the Oklahoma ' delegation should be allowed 14 seats, as accorded by the National committee, or 18, a claimed by that state, was passed along to the credentials committee. But - 14. however, will appear upon the tem- . porary rollcall. The National committee adopted a suit able expression of sorrow for the death of James K. Jones, of Arkansas, the for mer National chairman. INJUNCTION PLANK KNOTTY l Continued from Page 1.) tion of Senators, which he would have by direct vote of the people; the guarantee of bank deposits by the Government, and the i publicity of campaign contributions. His View of Injunctions. The injunction plank as drafted would prohibit the Issuance of prohibitive wrts without notice except in cases in which It is evident irreparable damage might be done to property. In that event the plank would permit the Issuance of an injunction limited to 10 days time, and a hearing would be required on the sec ond presentation of the case. Mr. Bryan has given his friends to understand that while he 'tenders his suggestions, he does not desire that the plank committee should feel tied to bis language. He is willing that phraseology should be al tered, if it can be Improved upon without changing the sense. Soon after arriving In the city, Mr. Brown went into conference with Mr. Haskell, who will be chairman of the committee on resolutions, and laid be fore him Mr. Bryan's views. Both of them declined to discuss the platform. duxxe's ixjcxtiox plank Draft Said to Embody the Views of Bryan. OMAHA, Neb.. July 6. The following In junction nlank drawn Kv Fnrmor Uavni.

There was a thunder storm at Denver last night, which lasted for several hours, accompanied by heavy rain and some hall. Today is cloudy and cool. While the temperature has decreased, ? - ' ? , y i ROGER C. SULLIVAN (AT RIGHT), WHO HAS BEEN RE-ELECTED TO NATIONAL COMMITTEE IN SPITE OF BRYAN, AND UREY WOODSON, OK KENTUCKY. Judge Dunne's membership on the reso lutions committee, so it is believed that this plank represents Mr. Bryan's views: "The right of a court of chancery to intervene and protect the status quo be tween litigants is unquestioned, but no such writ should issue ex parte and with out notice, except where It is clearly made to appear that irreparable injury will re sult unless the writ issued immediately and without notice, and in such cases the motion to dissolve such Injunction should take precedence of all other leeal busi ness in the court issuing such injunction, and shall be heard and determined 'before any other business is considered in such court. In all cases where injunctions are issued, with or without notice, an ample bond shall be exacted of complainant, suf ficient to cover all damages resulting to defendant from the Issuance of such a writ, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in moving to dissolve such writ. In all proceedings for contempt for viola tion of an injunction enjoining the com mission of any act, which by the common law -or by statute is made a crime, and which is not committed in the presence of the court, the defendant shall be en titled to a Jury trial upon the Issue of fact as to whether he has committed such crime and thus violated such Injunction. We favor the passage of a law amend ing the chancery practice so as to secure these results." ations. Another plank along the sar lines opposes the leasing system of grazing lands as at present applied by the Forestry Service of the Govern ment. Tentative J'arlf Resolution. ' The tariff plnnk rame in for con siderable discussion today, with the result thatthls language was put for ward tentatively as embodying the po sition the party should take: The Democratic party believes in tariff for revnue only, but Inasmuch as the fX penxra of the Government are great and we are depending largely upon the Imposts for the revenues for running the Govern ment, which means the Imposition of a tariff, we favor the laying of the tariff ' duties In such a manner that there shall 'be no discrimination in trhalf of any sec ,',tlon of the country or any industry. ... No one would be quoted as taying that " this plank would be adopted In the form ,!given. " Judge Powers, of Ctah. has transmlt ted to the tentative resolutions commit- t tee a plank he has received and ap ) ;proves. from' Samuel Newhouse, promi , nently known in railroad, mining and financial circles. Mr. Newhouse -wired Judge Powers that the plank was writ ten after a careful canvass of the tlnan Vclal classes in New York. It recites the - necessity of maintaining and even in ' creasing in some instances existing rail road rates and tariffs. reofgnlxing the rightfulness of Government regulation. "The necogsslty for maintaining rates Is stated. to be to pay the present high wage - scale to railroad employes. Brings Bryan's Suggestions. ""' During the afternoon Mayor F. W. Brown, of Lincoln, who is to be the Ne braska representative on the committee on resolutions, arrived with Mr. Bryan's suggestions concerning a number of planks of the platform in his pocket. Mr. Brown said that it had not been Mr. Bryan's In dention to prepare a complete platform, but that It was his wish that the commlt- tee Itself should perform this duty. He declined to say what subjects were cov- ;red by the Bryan draft, but it is under j stood through other channels that Mr. - Bryan's memorandum deals especially :., with the subject of the regulation of the o issuance of writs of injunction by the . Federal Courts in labor disputes: the tariff, the trusts, the railroads, the eleo- Xational Committeemen Chosen. DENVER, July 6.

POLITICIANS PURSUE TAFT CANDIDATE 1XDS LITTLE REST IX MOUNTAINS. l Nearly Entire Day Taken Cp by Conferences Over Chairmanship. HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 6. With the increasing number of confer ences concerning the chairmanship of the National committee, it is apparent mat Mr. Tatt desires to have a chair man whose selection shall be as nearly unanimous as possible, but his own preference for Frank H. Hitchcock seems to be generally conceded. When Judge Taft arose today he more than ever realized what a difficult task it Is to be a candidate for the Pres idency and to attempt to secure rest even amid the isolation of the mountains of Virginia. Early this morning a dozen big boxes of records were delivered to his office and his secretary superintended the work of arranging their contents In the file room, where they will be acces sible during the next two month's. A mass of correspondence Is coming to him. necessitating his personal attention and the dictation of many letters. But insist ing upon dividing his time between work and recreation he accepted a challenge made by Frank B. Kellogg for another game of golf on the mountain links. The Presidential candidate and the "trust buster" started out very soon after ' breakfast. Mr. Taft's horses have arrived and hereafter he will alternate golf with rid ing over the mountain paths. Mr. Taft feels that he is a subject for congratulation because he has signed all of his acknowledgements to letters of congratulations received after his nomina tion. He brought over 1500 of them from Washington and has stuck closely to the task of reading and signing them. His mall is arriving with great regularity and letters needing his personel consideration are constantly increasing In number. Today he had another conference with Senator Crane, who expects to leave here tonight accompanied by Representative Lawrence of Massachusetts, who came with htm. Mr. Crane's visit has set at rest suggestions that he will be enlisted in the active work of the campaign in any important way. He has talked over the situation in New England in great detail and his suggestions have been carefully noted by Mr. Taft. Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, and Representative McKlnley. of Illinois, had an interesting discussion today with Mr. Taft Senator Bevertdge's talk concerned the difficulties stirred up In his state by the action of the convention as to the Fairbanks dele gates and McKlnley concerning the treasurership of the National commit tee. The coming of Senator Beveridge a day ahead of Senator Hemenway and Representative Watson permitted Mr. Taft to get information on the Indiana situation before the coming of the men who directly represent the Fairbanks faction. The Btate is regarded as of such importance that Mr. Taft con siders It highly important that there should be assurances of harmony there over the chairmanship, whoever may fill that position. Representative McKinley is talked of for the treasurership, but unaries J Dawes. of Chicago, former Controller of the Currency, Is still In mind for that office. Mr. McKlnley's visit here today will do much to clear up the sit uation in this respect. Representative James F. Burke, of Pennsylvania, arrived today.

Little physical irregularities upset the system, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the body feels tired and worn out, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning that the-system is disor dered and needs assistance to ward off, perhaps, some serious sickness or ailment, S. S. S. is recognized everywhere as the best of all tonics, nature's medicine, made entirely of healing, cleansing, invigorating roots and herbs, a systemic remedy without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of being the greatest of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circu lation of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, improves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of health to those whose systems have been weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and pleasantly than any other medicine, and those who are run down in health should commence its use at once. It will thoroughly purify the blood and tone up the system. S. S. S. is admirably suited for a systemic remedy because it is free from minerals ; it may be used without harmful results by persons of any age, and no unpleasant effects ever follow. , THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLAHTA, GA.
